Sports judge refuses to overturn Conceicao’s red card Francisco Conceição had hoped that a sports judge would overturn the second yellow card he received against Cagliari, allowing him to play in Juventus’ next match. However, despite replays suggesting the referee may have made a mistake, as there appeared to be contact, the decision has not been reversed. The sports judge has upheld the second yellow card, meaning Conceição will miss Juventus’ next game and has also been fined 2,000 euros. ............ This incident has reignited discussions among those who feel that Juventus is sometimes unfairly targeted by referees due to the club’s long-standing success. ............

Motta to use McKennie in a new role against Lazio Juventus could be without several key players when club football resumes, as they prepare to face Lazio next weekend. ............ As Juventus plans for the match, one key player will be Weston McKennie. The American has gone from the verge of leaving the club to becoming a vital player once again. So far this season, he has primarily played as a central midfielder under Thiago Motta. However, McKennie is likely to be deployed in a different role against Lazio, with Motta reportedly planning to use him as a right winger. The coach believes McKennie could be crucial in limiting the impact of Nuno Tavares, who has been in excellent form, providing numerous assists this season. ............

Will Koopmeiners recover before Juventus match against Lazio? Teun Koopmeiners’ injury has become a major concern for Juventus, especially after the Dutchman withdrew from international duty with the Netherlands during this break. ............ The Bianconeri have already lost Gleison Bremer and Nicolas Gonzalez to injuries, and the last thing they need is another key player sidelined. ............ Juventus remains optimistic about his recovery and expects him to be available for the Lazio match. The report suggests that his decision to pull out was more precautionary, aimed at preventing the injury from worsening rather than due to its severity. ............

Former ref wants VAR to intervene on second yellow cards after Conceicao sending off Francisco Conceição’s second yellow card for simulation against Cagliari remains the main talking point from the match. The Juventus winger was deemed to have dived, leading the referee to send him off. But was the decision correct? Replays showed that there was indeed contact between Conceição and the Cagliari defender, and many pundits believe the referee made a significant mistake. ............ Former referee Graziano Cesari has suggested that a VAR review could have helped clarify the situation. However, since it was a second yellow card, current rules do not require a VAR review for such decisions. Cesari said: “Simulation when it is such is unacceptable, but so is the fact that the VAR cannot intervene on the double yellow. We must find a solution immediately otherwise the mistakes will be destined to repeat themselves”. ............

Vaciago chastises Juventus-Cagliari referee: “Players like Conceicao must be protected” Italian journalist Guido Vaciago wasn’t a fan of Livio Marinelli’s performance during yesterday’s Serie A outing between Juventus and Cagliari. The match official awarded a spot-kick for each team following a VAR review, and both were considered dubious. Nevertheless, the most controversial call in the 1-1 draw was showing Francisco Conceicao the second yellow card for simulation. ............ The Italian journalist feels that such antics will cause harm to Serie A as a whole. “Players like Francisco Coinceiçao need to be protected,” argued Vaciago. “Yesterday, this wasn’t the case, because the terrible Marinelli did exactly the opposite of what he was supposed to do. “Conceiçao suffered five fouls, was continuously mistreated by the Cagliari defenders and he tolerated it, without ever showing a card. “But when Conceiçao committed a foul, he immediately showed him the yellow card and then concluded in glory with the non-existent booking for simulation that cost the expulsion (and therefore the disqualification) of the Portuguese. “If a league like ours, in which champions are scarce and the spectacle suffers, does not protect the players who dribble their man and ignite the imagination of the fans, we can calmly prepare for a not-too-slow extinction of the already cracked myth of Serie A. “And the presumptuous Marinelli can be proud of having given his deleterious contribution, with that indignant rush of someone who is going to punish murder, without the humility to ask or review. ............

Gatti rues Cagliari draw: “No excuses, It could return to haunt us” Juventus stand-in captain Federico Gatti insists his team cannot offer any excuses for dropping points at home against Cagliari. The Bianconeri shared the spoils for the fourth time this season, and the third at home. Despite taking an early lead through a Dusan Vlahovic spot-kick, they failed to put the match to bed. ............ For his part, Gatti feels these two squandered points could return to haunt the Old Lady at some stage during the campaign. “There are no excuses for the result,” said the 26-year-old in his post-match interview. “These are home games that must be won, we threw away two points that could return to haunt us in the long run.” ............ “Bremer will be missing because he is one of the best defenders in the world. It’s a major loss, so we all have to give more for him, for the team, for the club and the fans. “You can’t draw a game like that, but this result must help us mature”. “I’m sorry for the unbeaten run, but even more for the result as well as for Francisco’s expulsion. He’s a very important player for us and we can’t fall into these mistakes. We must all improve.” ............

Juventus Player Ratings vs Cagliari: Douglas Luiz Impedes the Old Lady Again Juventus (4-2-3-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 6 ............ Nicolò Savona – 6 A solid performance from the Juventus youngster. Although he didn’t have a major impact in attack, he did well to limit the danger of Tommaso Augello and Ziti Luvumbo. Pierre Kalulu – 6.5 The Milan loanee was largely untroubled at the back. Looked sharp and composed as ever. Federico Gatti – 6.5 The Juventus captain prevailed in most of his duels, especially against Roberto Piccoli. He also did well to push his teammates forward. Andrea Cambiaso – 6 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 6.5 Juventus looked much more solid with the former Sassuolo man on the pitch. He did well to shield the backline and pile pressure on the opposition. Khephren Thuram – 6 ............ Francisco Conceicao – 5 The Portuguese winger saw much of the ball but didn’t produce his usual scintillating dribbles. Left Juventus with a man down after receiving a second yellow card for simulation. Teun Koopmeiners – 6 The former Atalanta man won back possession in dangerous areas on several occasions and combined well with Vlahovic. However, his final touch is still leaving much to be desired. Samuel Mbangula – 5.5 The young Belgian formed a triangle with Cambiaso and Thuram, but hardly made himself noticed. Dusan Vlahovic – 6 A mixed bag from the Serbian who converted the spot-kick expertly, but should have bagged at least another goal, especially when he found himself in front of an open net. Substitutes Nicolò Fagioli – 6 A decent showing from the Italian who kept the ball rolling in midfield, but not quite as influential as his most recent showing against Leipzig. Weston McKennie – 5.5 ............ Douglas Luiz – 5 For the second match in a row, the Brazilian gave away a spot-kick after entering the pitch in the second half. His early-season struggles are leaving Juventus fans puzzled.

Thiago Motta: “We managed the game instead of attacking. Vlahovics’ miss? It happens to everyone” Juventus manager Thiago Motta expressed his disappointment following his team’s 1-1 draw against Cagliari, highlighting missed opportunities and a lack of attacking intent. The Bianconeri led for most of the match but conceded a late equalizer, marking their first goal allowed in Serie A this season. Motta began by analyzing the team’s performance: “We controlled the game in the first half, but we managed instead of attacking. In the second half, we created chances but didn’t finish them. There was always a feeling that Cagliari could get back into the game. We did almost everything ourselves.” Addressing Dusan Vlahovic’s missed opportunity, Motta showed understanding: “You don’t say anything to strikers in such situations, it’s a game situation. It happens. There are other things we need to do better to compete and continue growing in our journey.” ............ Regarding Douglas Luiz conceding another penalty, Motta stressed the importance of collective effort: “We’ll need to give even more every day. Both him and everyone else, there will be positive things for him in the future as well.” ............

Player Ratings: Juventus 1-1 Cagliari – Wasteful Vlahovic, Douglas Luiz disaster Douglas Luiz caused a penalty kick for the second game in a row at Juventus, while Dusan Vlahvic scored his fifth goal in a week but missed an incredible chance in the second half, minutes before Cagliari‘s equaliser. ............ They had taken the lead in the first half with Vlahovic’s fifth goal in three games, but the Serbian could have made it six in the second half when he pounced on a rebound but sent the ball wide with Simone Scuffet unable to get on the ball. Cagliari left the ball to Juventus, finishing the match with 26% possession. ............ Juventus 1-1 Cagliari – player ratings Juventus: Di Gregorio 6; Savona 6 (70′ Danilo 5.5), Kalulu 6.5, Gatti 6.5, Cambiaso 5.5; Locatelli 6 (62′ McKennie 5.5), Thuram 5.5 (62′ Douglas Luiz 4.5); Conceicao 5, Koopmeiners 6 (46′ Fagioli 6), Mbangula 5 (77′ Yildiz 5.5); Vlahovic 5.5. Coach: Motta 5.5. Best Juventus players: Kalulu and Gatti 6.5 – Juventus can still rely on a solid defensive partnership despite Gleison Bremer’s injury. However, it wasn’t enough to keep a seventh consecutive clean sheet in Serie A. Lowest Juventus rating – Douglas Luiz 4.5 – Another appearance as a substitute and another penalty kick caused. This time, it was clear as he came steaming into Roberto Piccoli. A €50m signing in the summer. A disaster, for now. Coach: Thiago Motta 5.5 – Juventus were a bit tired after Wednesday’s victory in Leipzig. Kenan Yildiz rested, Teun Koopmeiners was not fully fit and was replaced at the break. Despite Vlahovic’s big chance in the second half, Juventus didn’t create much more. Cagliari: Scuffet 6.5; Zappa 6.5, Mina 7, Luperto 7, Obert 6.5; Makoumbou 6.5 (65′ Marin 7), Adopo 6.5 (77′ Deiola); Zortea 6 (77′ Mutandwa 6), Viola 5.5 (57′ Gaetano 6), Augello 6 (57′ Luvumbo 6.6); Piccoli 7 Coach: All.

Video – Watch Vlahovic and teammates dedicate goal to Bremer Dusan Vlahovic gave Juventus the lead against Cagliari this afternoon with a penalty and immediately dedicated the goal to his injured teammate, Gleison Bremer. The Brazilian defender sustained a long-term injury earlier this week during Juventus’ Champions League match against RB Leipzig, and it appears he may miss the rest of the season. ............ After scoring, Vlahovic quickly ran to the touchline, grabbed a Juventus shirt with Bremer’s name on it, and held it up in tribute. It was a heartwarming moment that showed how much the team cares for their injured teammate. ............

Two penalties and a red card as Cagliari earns a point at Juventus Juventus dropped two points in a frustrating 1-1 draw against a resilient Cagliari side this afternoon. The in-form Bianconeri started the match as the dominant team, aiming to build on their two-game winning streak. Their early pressure paid off when they were awarded a penalty, which Dusan Vlahovic converted to continue his fine run of form. After taking the lead, Juventus pushed for a second goal, with Teun Koopmeiners coming close, but the Cagliari goalkeeper made a crucial save. ............ Despite their dominance, Juventus couldn’t add to their lead before halftime. Cagliari defended well, but Juventus’ inability to capitalise on their chances also played a role in the lack of a second goal. ............ Juventus failed to score again, and their missed chances came back to haunt them. Razvan Marin equalized for Cagliari from the penalty spot after a poor tackle by Douglas Luiz. Things worsened for Juventus when Conceição received a second yellow card for simulation and was sent off. Despite being down to ten men, Juventus continued to dominate but couldn’t find the winner, leaving them to settle for a draw and shared points with their visitors.

Juventus monitoring Bologna defender ahead of January window Gleison Bremer’s injury is likely to prompt Juventus to sign a new defender in January, with Bologna’s Sam Beukema now on their radar. The Bianconeri have been linked with various defensive options as they prepare for life without their Brazilian workhorse. ............ Juventus is closely monitoring Beukema, who has been impressive for Bologna. The Old Lady believes the 25-year-old Dutchman would fit well into Motta’s system and significantly strengthen their squad as they aim to finish the season strongly. A January approach for Beukema appears to be on the cards as Juventus looks to navigate the challenges posed by Bremer’s absence. ............

Doctor discusses if Bremer can ever be the same player after injury Gleison Bremer has suffered a serious injury that will sideline him for several months, dealing a significant blow to Juventus. His season is likely over, which is a major setback for the Bianconeri, who will now have to adjust their defensive plans in his absence. ............ The club will be anxious about whether Bremer can return to his brilliant best once he recovers from this injury. His long-term fitness and form will be a concern as they await his return. To answer that, doctor Fabrizio Tencone said: “it is not a given that Bremer will return to 100%, but analyzing the data more than 90% of the players return to the same level as before. There is an almost certain possibility that he will return to being the same player as before and if during this rehabilitation process there was time to notice anomalies in the movement, they could be corrected and he could return even stronger than before”. ............

Juventus vs Cagliari: Preview and Prediction Juventus are riding high after back-to-back away wins and will return to their home ground on Sunday to face a struggling Cagliari side. With momentum in their favour, the Bianconeri are now within reach of the Serie A summit, and their latest victory, a thrilling five-goal encounter against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, further boosted their confidence. Meanwhile, Cagliari head into this match fresh off their first league win of the season, which has lifted their spirits and helped them climb out of the relegation zone. Under the guidance of head coach Thiago Motta, Juventus showcased their resilience and determination in their UEFA Champions League clash with RB Leipzig. ............ Juve’s defence has been rock solid, allowing very few chances and goals across all competitions. However, the injury to Bremer will be a blow as they prepare for Cagliari. On the other hand, Cagliari’s recent form has been less impressive, but they finally broke their winless streak with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Parma. Goals from Nadir Zortea, Razvan Marin, and a late match-winner from Roberto Piccoli helped Davide Nicola’s men get their first Serie A win of the season. While their defence has struggled, conceding goals regularly, they will hope to build on their latest win as they head to Turin. However, facing Juventus, who have dominated them in recent years, will be a daunting task. Historically, Cagliari have had a tough time against the Turin giants, losing 12 of their last 14 league meetings. Juventus will look to extend their perfect defensive record in Serie A this season, having kept a clean sheet in each of their first six matches. Cagliari, meanwhile, will need to find some attacking inspiration to break down one of Europe’s most disciplined defences. The Hard Tackle delves into the potential elevens and tactics for this highly-anticipated clash. Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus will likely line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Michele Di Gregorio starting between the posts. Danilo and Andrea Cambiaso are expected to occupy the full-back positions, while Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti will form the central defensive partnership, stepping in for the injured Gleison Bremer. Manuel Locatelli and Weston McKennie are expected to hold the midfield in a double-pivot role, providing balance and support. Further up the field, Francisco Conceicao, who played a key role in midweek, could slot into the right-wing position, with Teun Koopmeiners operating centrally and Kenan Yildiz on the left. Leading the attack will be Dusan Vlahovic, who has a strong track record against Cagliari and will look to add to his impressive goal tally. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, McKennie; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic Cagliari Unavailable for this match are key players Mateusz Wieteska, who remains sidelined, and forwards Leonardo Pavoletti and Gianluca Lapadula, both of whom are significant doubts due to injury concerns. These absences could leave the visitors a bit short-handed, especially in the forward positions. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Scuffet; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Makoumbou, Marin; Zortea, Gaetano, Luvumbo; Piccoli Key Stats Juventus have won 12 of their last 14 Serie A matches (D1 L1) against Cagliari, scoring at least two goals in 12 games during this period, including exactly two goals in each of their last four encounters. Juventus have won each of their last seven Serie A home games against Cagliari, keeping a clean sheet in five of those matches. Among teams currently in top-flight, only Venezia have a longer home winning streak against a single opponent than Juventus’ 10 home wins in a row. Juventus will play a ‘lunchtime match’ in Serie A for the first time since March 2024. Prior to their last game at 12:30, Juventus had won their six previous matches played in this timeslot, scoring at least two goals in each of those games. Juventus have kept a clean sheet in each of their first six Serie A games this season, marking the first time they have achieved this feat in their top-flight history. Only three teams have managed to keep clean sheets in their first seven Serie A matches of a season, including AC Milan in 1993/94, Cagliari in 1966/67, and Bologna in 1946/47. ............ Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic Dusan Vlahovic has been in fine form for Juventus this season, and his record against Cagliari makes him the standout player to watch in this encounter. The Serbian striker has scored six goals in nine Serie A appearances against the Sardinian side, including two direct free kicks. ............ Prediction Juventus 2-0 Cagliari Given Juventus’s stellar defensive record and their dominance over Cagliari in recent years, it is hard to see anything other than a home victory. The Bianconeri have kept clean sheets in all of their Serie A matches so far, and Cagliari’s struggles to score regularly, especially against top-tier opponents, make it likely they will be shut out again. With Dusan Vlahovic in excellent form and the home advantage at Allianz Stadium, Juventus should have enough firepower to secure a comfortable 2-0 win.

Preview: Juventus vs. Cagliari - prediction, team news, lineups Following back-to-back wins away from home, Juventus return to Turin on Sunday, when they play host to Serie A strugglers Cagliari. Having moved within touching distance of top spot in Italy, Juve then emerged victorious in a five-goal thriller against RB Leipzig; meanwhile, Cagliari recently secured their first league win of the season. Match preview© Im Demonstrating their resilience under the regime of head coach Thiago Motta, Juventus clawed their way back from 2-1 down with 10 men to secure maximum points in their second Champions League fixture, with star striker Dusan Vlahovic rising to the challenge by providing two crucial goals. The Bianconeri overturned RB Leipzig on German soil, despite Bremer suffering a serious knee injury within the first few minutes and goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio being sent off with half an hour left to play. Against the odds, a superb strike from Vlahovic pulled the visitors level, before substitute Francisco Conceicao embarked on a solo run and fired home a late winner. Juve had previously beaten Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven 3-1, and those Champions League goals remain the only ones conceded by their disciplined defence across all competitions - though they will now be missing Bremer for the rest of the campaign. Only Bayern Munich have faced fewer shots on average throughout Europe's top five leagues, while the Turin giants have conceded fewer shots on target (an average of 1.3 per game) than any other side. Including last week's 3-0 win over Genoa, Motta's men have kept a clean sheet in each of their first six Serie A matches, setting a new record for Italy's most successful club: only three teams have managed shut-outs in all of their first seven, and none since the great AC Milan team of 1993-94. As Juve have won their last seven league meetings with Cagliari on home turf - keeping five clean sheets in the process - they will expect to continue in that vein on Sunday and sign off for the international break in style. ............ Team News Imago Midweek medical tests confirmed that Juventus defender Bremer sustained an ACL injury during the Bianconeri's Champions League win over Leipzig, so the Brazil international will now be sidelined for several months. Federico Gatti is therefore set to partner Pierre Kalulu in the hosts' back four, while Wednesday's match-winner Sergio Conceicao could replace Nico Gonzalez, who also limped off injured last time out. Furthermore, Arkadiusz Milik has opted to undergo surgery on a longstanding knee problem, but Tim Weah could be back in the squad after an ankle injury. With no other like-for-like options, Dusan Vlahovic is set to start again, as he meets his favourite opponents: the Serbian striker has scored six goals in nine league appearances against Cagliari, including two direct free kicks. Meanwhile, the visitors will be without Mateusz Wieteska once again, while forward duo Leonardo Pavoletti and Gianluca Lapadula are both major doubts. Roberto Piccoli and Zito Luvumbo could therefore continue up front, with support from either Nicolas Viola or Gianluca Gaetano. Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Danilo, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, McKennie; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic Cagliari possible starting lineup: Scuffet; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Makoumbou, Marin; Zortea, Gaetano, Luvumbo; Piccoli We say: Juventus 2-0 Cagliari Given Cagliari's lack of bite - and their dismal record against Juve in Turin - the hosts should continue their remarkable clean-sheet streak for another 90 minutes. Juventus appear to be serious Scudetto contenders this season, so they will not let relatively modest opposition stop them in Serie A's Sunday lunchtime contest.

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Cagliari – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Sunday’s Serie A action kicks off at the Allianz Stadium with a ‘David vs Goliath’ clash between title-bidding Juventus and relegation-battling Cagliari. Despite the latter’s underdog status, both teams will take the field in high spirits amid a rich vein of form. ............ Brimming with confidence following another free-scoring performance, Juventus will look to protect their unbeaten league record (W3, D3) against Cagliari. However, the visitors seem to be finding their feet under new manager Davide Nicola after an unenviable five-game start in Serie A (D2, L3). ............ Match Preview Juventus Buoyed by back-to-back triumphs for the first time since sweeping Hellas Verona and Como aside in the opening two Serie A outings, the record-time Italian champions are keen to make it three in a row for the first time under Motta. Starting this matchday only a point adrift of early pacesetters Napoli, Juventus can seek inspiration in their outrageous scoring form. Despite three consecutive scoreless league stalemates, the Bianconeri have proved more than capable of packing up punch, with all five competitive wins they’ve posted this term seeing them score precisely three goals. Regardless of several top-flight setbacks in September, another goalless draw would be an anomaly, given the history of this fixture. Juventus last drew 0-0 against Cagliari in 1997, suggesting fans in attendance could be in for a treat come Sunday early afternoon. Adding to this sentiment, the Turin heavyweights have netted at least two goals in all seven home league victories against this opposition since September 2016. Cagliari The last time Cagliari left the Allianz Stadium undefeated was in May 2015, when they held Juventus to a 1-1 draw. The visitors would undoubtedly sign up for an identical outcome before the kick-off, considering they enter this round level on points with 18th-placed Lecce despite Monday’s triumph at Stadio Ennio Tardini. ............ Team News Juventus lost Bremer to a potentially long-term knee injury against Leipzig. Federico Gatti, who replaced him in that match, will likely partner up with Danilo at the heart of Motta’s defense on Sunday. The Brazilian ace has joined Arkadiusz Milik and Timothy Weah on the sidelines, while Paul Pogba remains inactive due to suspension. ............ Juventus vs Cagliari Potential Line-ups Juventus (4-2-3-1): Michele Di Gregorio; Pierre Kalulu, Danilo, Federico Gatti, Andrea Cambiaso; Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie; Francisco Conceicao, Teun Koopmeiners, Kenan Yildiz; Dusan Vlahovic. Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Simone Scuffet; Gabriele Zappa, Yerry Mina, Sebastiano Luperto, Obert; Antoine Makoumbou, Razvan Marin; Nadir Zortea, Gianluca Gaetano, Zito Luvumbo; Roberto Piccoli. Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction With Cagliari averaging just 0.66 goals per game in Serie A this season, not even the bravest traveling fans would dare to dream big ahead of this trip. Juventus are the only team in Europe’s traditional top-five leagues yet to concede a league goal in 2024/25, highlighting the scale of the task awaiting Nicola’s side on Sunday. As such, we can easily envisage a multi-goal margin win for the hosts, likely to be accompanied by another clean sheet.

Capello says Motta was sending a message to his players with his changes Fabio Capello was impressed with Thiago Motta’s bold decision after Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio was sent off against RB Leipzig. ............ However, instead of bringing on a defender to shore up the backline and avoid defeat, Motta introduced Douglas Luiz to help his team retain possession and dictate the flow of the game. ............ Capello was impressed, noting that the Juve manager wanted to send a strong message to his team: they will always play to win, even when the situation is not in their favour. He said: “When Di Gregorio was sent off, many coaches would have introduced a defender to get a draw. Motta, on the other hand, introduced Douglas Luiz, sending a signal to the team. Despite the numerical disadvantage, we are here to play our football and secure three points.” ............

Alessandro Del Piero is impressed with Kenan Yildiz’s overall attitude Kenan Yildiz is considered the Golden Boy at Juventus and the most talented youngster at the club. While this could make him overly confident, the Turkey international has remained humble and works hard whenever he plays for the Bianconeri. ............ The young attacker has been compared to Alessandro Del Piero and has even been handed Juventus’ iconic number 10 shirt. ............ Del Piero believes the Turkish starlet has everything it takes to have a successful career in the future. He said: “He’s a guy with his head on his shoulders , he always approaches the game in the best way and in training he’s someone who gives his all , from what I’m told he’s very humble and aware that at his age he still has everything to prove and he wants to do it through work.
